Do I need to have Java 9 installed to run the image generated by jLink?

[Mani Sarkar]

Hi Sundar,

Although can we cannot run this app on any OS on the target machine, but
the specific OS it has been compiled/linked on.

So its portable across machines across the same OS type.

I hope my understanding is correct, happy to be corrected.

Thanks.

Regards,
Mani
